Sales Is a Service: Bruce Hill on Personal Growth, Mindset, and Meaningful Selling
By Lana Reid | May 4, 2022
As part of the Black Men Matter Series, Lana Reid sits down with Bruce Hill, sales consultant and owner of New Skills New You, to discuss the concept of sales as a service and how selling can be a powerful tool for personal growth. Bruce shares how confidence, communication, and mindset shape success both professionally and personally. He explains why reframing sales as service-driven rather than transactional allows individuals to develop transferable skills that extend far beyond the workplace.
In this episode of The Male Perspective, Bruce Hill challenges common misconceptions about sales and invites listeners to view selling as an extension of service, communication, and self-awareness.
Bruce explains how sales skills are not limited to business environments, but are deeply connected to everyday interactions, leadership, and personal development. From building confidence to strengthening communication, he outlines how understanding sales psychology can improve decision-making, relationships, and professional outcomes.
Throughout the conversation, Lana Reid and Bruce explore the role of mindset in success. Bruce discusses how limiting beliefs around sales often prevent people from recognizing their own value and potential. By shifting perspective and developing intentional habits, individuals can grow both their skill set and their sense of purpose.
The discussion also highlights the importance of self-improvement and entrepreneurship. Bruce shares insights into how transferable sales skills empower individuals to navigate career transitions, build confidence, and create meaningful impact in their communities.
This episode offers practical insight into how sales, when rooted in service and integrity, can become a tool for empowerment, growth, and long-term success.
